all of us knows it. we are trying to negotiate with them since we took power. not only us. the former prime minister offered them almost everything. 98.5% of the territory. they didn't say yes. when barak was prime minister of israel, he offered the same to arafat and arafat said yes -- said no. so now since we took power, they put any obstacle they could in order to resume the negotiations. first they ask prime minister netanyahu to accept the idea of two-state solution like his predecessor did. he made the statement. after the demand -- to freeze the settlements. we took the decision to freeze the settlements. even then they didn't show up. so what needs to be done these days is that palestinians will come to resume the negotiations. with no preconditions. and if they will do so, they will find us really would like to move toward peace. but that kind of resolution is not helpful. >> it seems as though this vote, as we have said they do have overwhelming support that will happen at the u.n. today. what is israel's plan post this assembly knowing that they have moved along
